President Obama’s plans for a Memorial Day appearance had to be called off on account of rain. Obama told the thousands on hand to hear him that “a little rain doesn’t hurt anybody, but we don’t want anybody being struck by lightening.”
Washout
The President went to the Land of Lincoln
To speak on Memorial Day.
But the rains came down in bucketfuls
And refused to go away.
He spoke to those who came to hear,
An umbrella o’er his head.
The rain, he said, is not so bad;
‘Tis the lightening we dread.
Despite Obama’s well-laid plans,
And the folks who all turned out,
While Biden spoke at Arlington,
The Prez was….well….rained out.
